Speech and Language Therapy  If you're looking for some Halloween Speech and Language Therapy Ideas , you've come to the right place! I'm excited to share some of my favorite Halloween speech therapy activities and ideas with you.  Halloween Speech Language Therapy Activities  Whether you're looking for some "easy to create" speech therapy activities, or some "ready to go" Halloween Speech and Language materials- you're in for a treat! I had a request recently to create a Halloween-themed following directions packet similar to my best-selling Ahoy! Following Directions with Embedded Concepts  packet. That exact product idea had literally been on my "to do" list, so I immediately got to work! These cards target following directions with inclusion, sequence, location, and temporal concepts. There are single step and two-step directions. I have so many students working on this goal, I'll probably end up making a Thanksgiving version ...

Alright, it's no secret: Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It comes as no surprise, then, that I LOVE incorporating this holiday (whenever possible) into my speech and language therapy sessions. This year, I teamed up with a group of incredible SLP bloggers and TPT authors to create some FREE Halloween Speech Therapy Activities for you. All of the heart/ pumpkin emojis, because these Halloween speech and language activities are AMAZING. If you follow me on Instagram (@thepedispeechie), tune in for this hop on October 9th, 2017. If you can't, or you're reading this too late and missed it- no worries! I've got everything you need in this blog post. Free Speech Therapy Story and Song First, I wrote a story about a Halloween frog . It's actually a song, if you're willing to have a little fun and sing to your students! The words pair perfectly to "Down by the Banks of the Hanky Panky". You can download this free speech and language story here . Wh...

Articulation Therapy for S Your student has an interdental lisp - or maybe a lateral lisp - and you're feeling stuck. This feeling is something I came across often in my speech therapy sessions. One day, I decided it was time to do something about it. I wanted to correct those lisps. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to articulation therapy . I can't help it. I get so, so excited when my students make progress! Orofacial Myology Alright, I took CEU courses. I was trying, y'all. I really, really wanted to help my students out. I tried these straightforward approaches- I sometimes saw results, and sometimes I didn't. "Hide your tongue," I'd tell my student. Distorted /s/. So not cool. "Okay, say the word "sun", but say it like this: th un." Well, that did help the airflow (no longer lateralized), so progress was being made! That was seriously helpful, but I wanted a little more structure to my approach. Google is my frie...

Speech Therapy Scheduling Tomorrow I start seeing my students for the first week in speech. I've got some ready-to-go activities planned, including my Would You Rather...Questions and my Beginning of the Year Tic-Tac-Dough boards . This past week has been a little nuts, to say the least. That's because I've been doing all the "behind the scenes" work- setting up my room, attending beginning of the year meetings, and working on scheduling.  Speech therapy scheduling is never fun, but now that I have experience doing it, I've created a "go to" checklist that I'm going to share with you.  Let's conquer that tricky speech therapy scheduling once and for all .    Speech Therapy Scheduling Checklist Here's what you need to schedule: 1) Your speech caseload list : This should be a list with all of your students on it. Make sure you have included the IEP monthly minutes for each student. You'll want to have a quick reference available when ...

Hey guys! I wanted to give you a quick tour of my speech room. I'm pretty excited about my speech therapy room setup for this school year. Many of the labels, signs, and other speech room decor pieces are all part of my newest SLP Organization and Decor packet, which you can snag here at my TPT store! Speech Room Setup and Decor Tour I'm so excited to have you stop in! Come on, let's take a closer look... I wanted to go with a welcoming and exciting theme this year.
